A girl whom you meet with the brightest smile has woken up with heavy dreams that pull her down, she jumps on the puddle of rain water to mask the mud getting fuller in her, her aura looks like a million bucks but she counts her worth in pennies , her hate so prominent but that love inside sees no conditions , her mascara rolls on her lashes and dries on her cheeks ,night by night, every night. She might be right next you but you don’t know her.

Also, we are so close to 1K in such a less time. Once it’s done, as requested by a many of you, I shall do a post regarding myself and if there is anything you want to know about them let me know, shall put it in the next post.

By shelter I hereby intend it to be anything that protects, safeguards you, keeps you within itself. It could be your home, a place, an object or a human. Let me make this very brief and short.

I’ve had true instances in my life where I’ve people coming to me for very smallest issues in their life in a hope for a solution or an advice and I truly don’t see a problem there. (swear) but then, you keep coming with the same issue again and again committing the same mistake while knowing I shall have the same thing to say, then Dear People, *You’re annoying me*

Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me what you do in your life no matter how close you are to me unless you’re doing something wrong. It’s your life and you have the liberty to do whatever the wish you have unless you’re putting a trouble in front of me and asking for help and then repeating the same mistake again. You see what you’re doing to your shelter. Let’s just forget anybody or any place as it and just consider yourself and your own soul as your inner being of shelter cause let’s just face the fact that no matter how many people you’ve got in your life or how many people love you to death , at the end of every night and beginning of every dawn, it’s only you by yourself and nothing can change that.

So you might cheat on me or any freaking body but in the darkness, your own pleasurably beautiful mistakes will drown you. So do not do the mistake to cheat your shelter. Your eternity is fading and some strong power watches that.

A small intro here about the Indian Mythology that depicts the true and unrequited love of the chakor(a bird) (In English : Chukar Partridge) for the moon .

The kind of love between them where the moon makes her light reach everywhere with her luminous rays but is out of the birds reach who however waits for the day to come closer to the moon someday and counts on her.

(It’s completely fine to be downhill for days together, to not be able to give, to not feel like it or to not try to make ends meet . Just stop lying to yourself and accept everything the way it is. The biggest harm one could do is not being true to yourself.)

Nor one of my other poems or structured writings neither happy posts with any rhyming. (Well that was an unintended rhyme)

So basically I’m using up this blank space today to talk or discuss about something or just a random rant sort of thing based on what I face on a daily basis and how it has helped me learn something higher than this.

So an acquaintance of mine from a random chat of ours tells me a few things about expectations and stuff like that.

Somehow, the situation she was in and based on how she took ‘Expectations’ to be , something just strikes me so well about it is that ;

We as human beings overestimate ‘Expectations‘ so much that it blinds our possiblity of rightness. We sometimes actually expect illogical things and blame it all on life or the person for having not being able to reach it.

For example, we cannot give a chocolate to a child and expect him to share it with us. That shall be great and a different thing if he offers you some and that shall be too our surprise.

As every person you meet in this earth has a sad story to tell and is the innocent one in their story but how come you never met the villain? Never met the person who played the wrong in their story? Cause none is wrong to themselves and whatever we do is right for us, Our hopes, Our Considerations , Our Expectations. So even expectations have their limits and if designated beyond that shall put you down, Everytime. Probably something we need to understand.

So mostly and not always that is I say that only sometimes it’s the expectations that have reached illegit limits which should not be digged.

So the next time you say ‘Expectations Hurt’ Ask yourself one time if the one you wanted for was true and justified enough to be fulfilled?
